Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly is a rare syndromic craniofacial condition caused by heterozygous loss-of-function mutations of the EFTUD2 gene on 17q21.31. Thus far, the described musculoskeletal findings in patients with this condition include proximally placed or duplicated thumbs, overlapping toes, and toe syndactyly. We describe a severe case of a patient with a 17q21.31 microdeletion and many of the phenotypic features described in mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly who had bilateral proximal radioulnar synostosis and brain abnormalities. This provides further evidence of the clinical overlap among mandibulofacial and acrofacial dysostoses syndromes and expands the phenotype of EFTUD2 haploinsufficiency due to larger deletions.
伴有小头畸形的下颌面骨发育不全是一种罕见的综合征性颅面疾病,由17q21.31上EFTUD2基因的杂合功能丧失突变引起。迄今为止,患有这种疾病的患者所描述的肌肉骨骼表现包括拇指近端位置异常或重复、脚趾重叠和并趾畸形。我们描述了一例严重的患者,其存在17q21.31微缺失,具有许多伴有小头畸形的下颌面骨发育不全所描述的表型特征,同时伴有双侧近端桡尺关节融合和脑部异常。这进一步证明了下颌面骨发育不全和肢端面骨发育不全综合征之间的临床重叠,并由于更大的缺失而扩展了EFTUD2单倍体不足的表型。
